I should like to commend and to
thank those members who write and greet
our new members and send or offer some
checks with their compliments and congra¬
tulations. Check collecting at its best!

Our membership has increased
over the past year, even though some mem¬
bers have been dropped at this time for
non-payment of dues. The Directory of
Members in this issue contains many up¬
dated addresses and zip codes.

Included with this issue is a
ballot listing eleven members nominated
for the Board of Directors. Please vote
to show your support.

Our Society contains a wonder¬
ful group of collectors who have given
of their time, talents and special skills
which has enhanced our enjoyment of check
collecting. This issue contains informa¬
tion and photos of some outstanding rari¬
ties which were submitted by some of our
members who have generously shared their
collections with us.

The Check Collector continues
to mirror your interests. An illustrated
article is very much needed on the sub¬
ject of checks, drafts, bills of exchange
and warrants , to enable some of our mem¬
bers to more fully understand the uses
and to easily differentiate between these
instruments. Decent photocopies of items
will do. Thanks to those members who do
submit articles, comments and suggestions
to The Check Collector. It is your jour¬
nal and you are what makes it go.

Happy collecting.

CHECK COLLECTING — HISTORY IN YOUR HANDS

by Robert A, Spence

One of the happy pleasures of check collecting is
the surprise discovery of an item in your collection, or one just
acquired, that displays a direct tie with past history. Checks
and related fiscals show their tie to historical events much more
directly than do many other collectibles. Since the check and
its related forms are the very essence of a transaction, our hobby
provides many of these opportunities. The dates, names and auto¬
graphs, locations, vignettes, endorsements and the names that ap¬
pear on checks, along with the uniqueness of each item, are each
like tie cords reaching back through the past to the very essence
of a historical event or point in time.

Experience has shown that many check collectors al¬
ready have several items that have direct and significant historic
relationships that are not realized nor appreciated by the collec¬
tor. This observation appears to be especially evident when the
checks are from locations or areas of interest that differ from
those of the collector's main interests. Nonetheless, many check
collectors are turning up new finds, or discovering new information
about items in their collections and enjoying it! The wide variety
of these discoveries and areas of interest are but an indication of
the broad spectrum of check collecting.

As a suggestion and hopeful inspiration to new col¬
lectors and as a respectful reminder to experienced collectors,
there follows some notes on a random selection of checks and rela¬
ted items which it is hoped will whet your desire to review again

with care, some of those interesting looking items in your own
collection.

What better way to start than with our first item,
brimming with history, which is shown as the top illustration on
the front cover page. This Warrant, or Order to Pay, was most
generously submitted by Sandy Mock. The date is significant, as
it is but six days after the Battles of Lexington and Concord!

Here was fired the "shot heard round the world". This Warrant

sho ws that it was heard in the Colony of Connecticut, as their
"riflemen" colonists set off to join the "American Army near Bos¬
ton" . We remember that General George Washington shortly there¬
after took command of the American Army on the Common in Cambridge,
near Boston. Note that a "Committee" authorized the Warrant to
Treasurer Lawrence of the Colony. This Warrant form was used as
the Bank of North America had yet to open its doors. Today, one
Eunice Robbins would most likely have received one of the attrac¬
tive Statue of Liberty vignetted checks of the U. S. Treasurer
prepared by computer for such services. On the reverse side of
the Warrant is included a notation "Audited- 13 May 1776". Less
than a month and paid, cleared and already passed through an audit!
Next time you see one of those U. S. Army Paymaster checks, remem¬
ber that its ancestor is probably this item.

Taking a handful of items from a recently acquired
batch of material, an item caught my eye and it was another mili¬
tary Warrant, which is pictured at the bottom of the front cover
page. The wording at first may not appear to warrant a second
look, but here is another "rifleman" item. This time it is the
War of 1812. The military saw action against the British all along

The Check Collector

the Cape Cod coast and the southern Massachusetts coast near New
Bedford. Military records show that the Port of New Bedford was
blockaded by the British ships Nimrod and La Hogue. The militia
was called up to serve and to protect the exposed towns along
this coast. Remember that Washington City and the White House
had been invaded and burned and we had not enough ships for sea
defense of the coast. This Warrant was to pay one Samuel Miller,
Jr., for his service.

After the War of 1812, the United States enjoyed a
great expansion and economic growth. New York City became the
financial center of the country. Figure 1 shows a check of New
York City signed by the Mayor, Walter Bowne, and others, in the
amount of $263,600, a king's ranson in those days when an ordi¬
nary workman received as wages about a half dollar a day. The
equivalent present value of the amount of this check today is
estimated to be about 50 million dollars.

The expansion of transportation facilities after the
War of 1812 saw canals, railroads and shipping lines flourish.

The next check. Figure 2, the final payment for $100,000 of Dela¬
ware & Hudson Canal stock looked ordinary until I noticed and
looked up "John A. Dix" at the local library. With a long and dis¬
tinguished military career, he became Secretary of the Treasury
in 1861% preceding Salmon P. Chase. He telegraphed a Treasury of¬
ficial in New Orleans after the secession of South Carolina to take
possession of a revenue cutter there, ending with the words "If
anyone attempts to haul down the American flag, shoot him on the
spot". This phrase became a popular Northern slogan and appeared
as the legend on a common Civil War token which was commonly avail¬
able when I was a boy. As with other young coin collectors, there
being no coin books available, the word "Dix" in the center of the
token was believed to mean "ten" like the "Dixie" Confederate note,
and sometimes, "two". Now at long last I have learned the rest of
the story!

Following the War of 1812 the United States had a bud¬
ding navy and the U. S. Navy Yard in Brooklyn, New York, was one
of the major bases of the square-rigged naval forces of that period.
Figure 3 is a check of a Naval Paymaster at that Navy Yard. This
interesting check has a receipt form printed on the reverse side.

The Brooklyn Navy Yard has built, repaired and served as a base for
many fighting ships of many wars.

In the Civil War, the Army Sutler was the traveling
Post Exchange for the troops in the field. At that time, items
considered necessaries nowadays could only be purchased from these
Sutlers. Figure 4 is a Warrant to the Army Paymaster authorizing
a pay deduction to settle a soldier's account with his Sutler.

This item is like a bullet found on a battlefield; it was there!

The National Banking Act was passed by Congress in the
early period of the Civil War. The National Banks were to provide
a much needed means to generate funds for carrying on the war .
Thrifty persons altered the bank name on checks to show it was now
a National Bank. Figure 5 is an example of such a check. _

Figure 6 is a check from a ghost town in the Alaska
Territory. Iditarod, whose name is now best known in the annual
1100 mile Iditarod Dog Sled Race between Anchorage and Nome, was a
town in which the Miners and Merchants Bank and the few other busi¬
nesses operated only "in season", the few summer months when things
thawed out. When the nearby gold deposits were worked out, the
town withered away and now there are no buildings left standings,

Miscellaneous fiscals spice up check collecting.
The item shown in Figure 7 may bring a smile to many college
alumni, especially if from Harvard. Once again, reflecting on

7

The Check Collector

what such a document would show today, indicates how much things
have changed.

Many collectors have checks of the 19th Century. In
that period when a person could sign a check for some thousands
of dollars, he was generally a person of some prominence or posi¬
tion. He had to be, as this was a considerable sum of money.

Looking up the names on such checks is a fascinating and promising
endeavor as it leads to many surprises. Try it sometime, you will
like it I _

THE TWELFTH INTERNATIONAL PAPER MONEY SHOW

by Charles Kemp

The International Paper Money Show was held June 22
through 24, 1988, in Memphis, Tennessee. It was a great success,
as always, with both collectors and dealers going away happy.

This show is quite important because it serves as a sort
of clearinghouse among dealers, with much trading going on. This
often overlooked feature allows new discoveries to be dispersed
over a much broader area of the country than would be possible
otherwise. The greatest concern of most dealers is* one of replenish¬
ing their stock. The Memphis Show is the best place to do this.

This year saw several new hoards of material coming on the
market, with the last of Amon Carter's material being sold by John
Rowe. While this last group was not as fine an assortment as some of
the earlier ones, it did have many nice items and was especially
strong in revenue stamped material. No doubt, due to this, most of
the group was purchased by Eric Jackson, a prominent dealer in U. S.
revenues. More new finds came out of the Boys Town Sale, with Ken
Elwell ending up with fine new material including some beautiful
proof checks.

Two auctions were held in connection with the show. The
NASCA Sale was heavy in stocks and bonds, with some check lots in¬
cluded. The Hickman-Oakes Sale featured a nice selection of checks,
along with the usual offering of National Currency.

While check dealers continued to complain about the scar¬
city of new material, the stock and bond people were finding it a
bit easier to come by, thanks to some large archive holdings like
the Rock Island and the Penn Central-New York Central material being
made available to the public. Bob Kluge of American Vignettes also
pointed out that much of the NASCA Sale was formed from collections.

It was only a short time ago that there were no collections of this
type material around. Bob considers the fact that we have reached
this point within the hobby to be very significant.

Many Western dealers made the long trip and the prices of
this type of material often reflected its popularity and scarcity.

Among these dealers were: Lynn L^ngdon from Idaho, Stuart Mackenzie
from Montana, and Walt Alcott, John Heleva, Ray Miller and Vern Pot¬
ter, all from California. Alcott reflected that Memphis is the most
important show of the year because it attracts the most serious col¬
lectors. He went on to explain that, if he divided his gross business
at Memphis by the number of customers, their purchases would average
about $400 each, while a local show back home might see a greater
volume but an average sale of only about $14 each. Many collectors
did comment on the high prices, but most felt that it was worthwhile
for the opportunity to add quality pieces to their collections.

To round out the show, a brief business meeting of the
American Society of Check Collectors was held. It is hoped that next
year, a more extensive meeting program can be arranged for our members.

SOME RARITIES AMONG CHECKS
WITH IMPRINTED REVENUE STAMPS

By Ed Lipson

(Editor's Note: In the following article, Edward N. Lipson has very
kindly shared with our members photos and details of many spectacular
checks bearing imprinted revenue stamps that are in his collection.
His collection contains most of the great rarities of U.S. revenue
stamps. Allowing for the meager reproduction facilities of this jour
nal, restricted to black and white, we may nonetheless view and enjoy
outstanding examples of some of the classic rarities which most of us
have never seen. )

Figure 1

Figure 1 shows a rather scarce and elusive item, a draft
bearing an overprint on the original bank name and a Type#C imprinted
revenue stamp with the restrictive clause "Good only for sight draft"
as a part of the stamp. This draft, with the overprint name, the
stamp with the restrictive clause at its lower left, three beautiful
vignettes and with the draft printed in three colors, is an item wor¬
thy of being noticed.

Figure 2 is a magnificent example of a check bearing a Type
RN-K8 imprint revenue stamp in a very deep red shade. There is be¬
lieved to be only three known examples of this imprint stamp in this

Figure 2

Figure 3 is a beautiful draft, but here the restrictive im¬
print of the Type C revenue stamp appears to the lower right of the
stamp and not the lower left. This item as a Texas draft, with a love
ly vignette at the left, with a green background and three colors be¬
ing obvious in its overall printing, makes for a very beautiful item. „

Figure 4

Figure 4 is a draft of the National Bank of New England with
a Type D imprint revenue stamp. The large central vignette on the
draft is the same vignette that appears on the broken bank notes of
this bank. I have an example of this draft issued before the bank be¬
came a national bank and where it merely reads "Bank of New England".
Also, another example similar to this where the imprint revenue stamp
is a Type B and not a Type D, and with the word "National" written by
pen in front of the phrase "Bank of New England".

Figure 5 is a check drawn on the National Webster Bank of
3oston. You will note that the revenue stamp is inverted. Any check
with an imprinted revenue on its face or back and upside down is a
scarce item. This particular item is not the scarcest of the inverts.

Figure 6 is a draft form of the City Bank of Houston, Texas.
Note the overprint "Original" thereon; the printed word "GOLD"; the
vignette of a frontier bank building; the Texas "Lone Star" at the bot¬
tom; and the printer of the draft. Continental Bank Note Co. This item
in unused condition is certainly a very lovely piece*

Figure 7 shows the face of a check of the National Exchange
Bank of Auburn, N.Y. You will note that a printed revenue does not
appear on the face of it. Figure 7-R is the back of the check in Fi¬
gure 7. The revenue stamp is printed on the back and printed upside
down. This is an extreemely rare item from the standpoint of imprint¬
ed revenue material. In fact, there are far less of these than there
are of the regular printed Type 0 which is illustrated later.

The face of the check in Figure 8 is printed in red and the

The check shown in Figure 9 actually has a Type G revenue
stamp imprinted on it and is interesting primarily because of the

lovely fire engine vignette in red on its left side. There are a num¬

ber of checks with fire engines around but I have never seen another
one like this. Do you know of another one? I think this vignette is
exceptionally beautiful.

Figure 12 is an ordinary check with a Type D imprint drawn

you would consider this to be a rather interesting item.

A check with a Type D imprint with the restrictive clause

and only example of this check that I have ever seen. I would be in¬
terested in hearing from any other collectors if they know of any other
unused examples of this particular item.

Figure 10 shows another check on the National Webster Bank
of Boston, You will note there is no revenue stamp on the face of the
check. If you will look at Figure 10— R, you will see that the revenue
stamp is on the back of the check and is inverted. This is an ex-
treemely rare check, far rarer than any Type O, I know of six to eight
Type 0 • s , plus another small group of them. There are at least about
eight examples of the Type O in the hands of active collectors. To my
knowledge, this check of which the revenue stamp is Type M, is the only
one that I know of where the stamp is on the back of the cneck.

Figure 13

Included here because it has a vignette and shown in Figure
13, I must say that checks drawn in Utah Territory are quite scarce.
When you obtain one in pristine condition, marked Utah Territory (as
indicated by the "U.T."), a lovely vignette at the left in red, you
have a gorgeous item.

Figure 14

Shown here in Figure 14, this check has a Type D imprint re¬
venue. It seems to have some provision for security. By punching out
the proper numbers in the various little boxes or groups of numbers at
the bottom of the check, it could serve to protect someone from "rais¬
ing" the check in value. It is interesting that without a check pro¬
tector or check printing device around, the ingenuity of that day was
such that they could prepare and protect themselves from having a check
raised. Note the unusual moir* silk patterned background.

A most spectacular item is shown in Figure 15. The entire
check, with the exception of course of the imprinted revenue stamp, is
entirely engraved. You will note that below the year date, there is
an indication of the printer, namely, the Manhattan Engraving Co. It
is also interesting that this check was drawn on the Banking House of
Henry Clews & Co. who were very prominent bankers in New York City.

tion. • . - -

The check in Figure 17 is merely an example of a check with
the Type 0 imprint revenue stamp. This check and the imprint is in
mint condition. It is interesting that the stamp portrays the obverse
and reverse of a type of coin which was very soon thereafter to become
obsolete. I have been advised there have been several queries as to
whether a check bearing a Type 0 imprint revenue stamp in unused con¬
dition does exist. Here it is!

Reply to #14 (in TCC #6):

Ron Horstman sent in a copy of the same Post Office Transfer
Draft but for ten cents, dated June 4, 1894, and payable to the "L" P.
M. at Nursery, Mo., which is no longer shown on Missouri maps. It was
the only one he had seen until Herman Boraker submitted his copy.

Reference to the article in TCC #6 by Charles Kemp and Mike Mahler on
the 2g check tax of 1862-63 by Ron Horstman. He has the following
check of December 28, 1863 for $20 without a revenue stamp.

#15 - Ron Horstman submits what appears to be a draft and is marked as
a check. The protective numbering on the border was not used. Were
these items punched or ink marked? Has anyone ever seen another like
this from St. Louis?

#16 - william Johnson submits submits a copy of a New Mexico check that
has interest appeal. In addition to the vignette on the face of the
check, the back sports a vignette that includes a whole Chevy model
year of cars as well as the radiator emblem. He asks: Aside from the
Pleasant Valley Wine Co. of New York checks which show a champagne
bottle on the back, are there any other checks with vignettes printed
on the back? (Illustrations on following page).

#17 - Richard Biemer sent in this check as an example of the use of
an armed services banking service. He has seen two examples, both
from the same person and both dated 1929. They are not numbered.

The check color is black on tan. Quite possibly other military in¬
stallations sponsored their own banks. In such cases the service
must have been limited to base facilities or stores and consequently

HAPPY FINDINGS AND CONVERSATION PIECES

William Stump submits the following sight draft to Ladd &
Tilton of Portland, Oregon and inscribed "Iron Compy." The Ladd &
Tilton Bank was the first bank in Oregon, established in 1865. Many
do not know that in early Oregon history, there were several attempts

to mine, refine and process iron ore found in what is now a suburb of
Portland, Oregon. A number of iron companies existed, among which was
the Oregon Iron Co., incorporated in 1865. A smelter was constructed
in 1865-66 and a Mr. Wilbur of Connecticut, whose name is on the sight
draft, was in charge of construction.

Another interesting Florida item submitted by William Stump
is this Key West bill of exchange of 1875 payable to A.F. & C. Tift.

The Tifts, from New England, established their business in Key West in
the 1820's. By the 1880's, they had amassed considerable holdings and
their warehouses stored salvage goods, ships stores, coal, feed and
even an icehouse filled with blocks of ice brought down from Maine. The
chief enterprise of Key West at that time however, was wrecking. The.
Tifts were among the warehouse owners who stored and auctioned goods
under control of the Federal District Court for which services they
obtained various fees and commissions.

The eastern coast of Florida was long, dangerous and full
of shoals and wrecks were frequent. A string of "houses of refuge"
for shipwrecked seamen were built along the coast and served until

the advent of the coastal railroads.

take a third look

by Lee Poleske

In the September 1987 issue of The Check Collector there
appeared an article I had written called "Always Take a Second Look".
The point of the article was that what at first appeared to be a 1881
New York check of no interest to a collector of Alaskana, turned out
to be of great interest since it was-.made out to and endorsed by A. P.
Swineford, who three years later became the second governor of the
District of Alaska. Soon after the article appeared, I received a
letter from ASCC member Robert Richards of Baltimore, Maryland, whose
main collecting interest is mining company checks and stocks. He
brought to my attention another connection between the check which
was the subject of the article, an Iron Cliffs Company check on the
Third National Bank of New York, and Alaska.

The Iron1 Cliffs Company was one of the early iron mining
concerns in the Lake Superior region. A Vice President of the com¬
pany was Major Thomas Benton Brooks, an eminent mining engineer and
geologist. Mr. Richards was kind enough to send me an Iron Cliffs
Company draft, shown above, signed by Major Brooks, who was the father
of Alfred H. Brooks.

Alfred H. Brooks (1871-1924) served as head of the Alaska
section of the U.S. Geological Survey from 1903-1923. The government
published his "Geology and Geography of Alaska" in 1906. Brooks wrote
summaries of Alaska's mineral industries every year he was head of the
Alaska Section, except in 1917-18, when he was geologist for the U.S.
Expeditionary Force in Europe during World War I.

A series of essays on Alaska's history, which he wrote be¬
tween 1914 and 1923 were published by the University of Alaska and the
Arctic Institute of North America in 1953 under the title "Blazing
Alaska's Trails".

The Brooks Range in Northern Alaska is named in his honor
as is the School of Mines Building at the University of Alaska.

If I had not sent the original article in to "The Check

Collector" for publication, I might never have learned of this con¬
nection between the Iron Cliffs Company and Alaska. I hope this en¬
courages others to send in articles for publication, for by sharing
our knowledge we can gain more knowledge in return from our fellow
ASCC members. The incident also shows the willingness of members to
share their knowledge with others, which is one of the reasons our
hobby is so enjoyable and satisfying. In addition, it shows the impor¬
tance of "The Check Collector" as a means of communication among check

collectors .
